Hi everyone, Still with regards to the RBT. After attaching a protocol analyzer, I found out that asterisk is not sending ACM after receiving the IAM from the Nortel DMS switch. Also I notice "unknown state 0x03" on the channel. What does this mean. Can anyone help. Is this message already included in the new release version? Nonetheless, I have not problem with calls orginating from the asterisk to the pstn side.
